Nan Zhubin blinked and controlled himself to show just the right amount of curiosity.

He turned back to Nurse Cuicui and said, "Oh?"

The short nurse didn't say much and always seemed to speak with some reservations. This was often the case when there had been a good relationship in the past but friendship had been lost due to some minor misunderstandings, so now when speaking, she still wanted to leave some dignity for her friend.

But judging from the limited experiences that the short nurse shared, it was enough to analyze Li Lingling as having a pattern in relationships with colleagues: "heartfelt and selfless in the early stages," "rapid development and emotional heating in the middle stages," "absurd and abruptly ending in the final stages."

Very much in line with Nan Zhubin's assessment of the "unstable interpersonal relationships" characteristic of Borderline Personality Disorder.

Borderline Personality Disorder involves being passionately friendly while making friends, but then suddenly burning out emotions at a moment nobody can predict, becoming indifferent like strangers; sometimes even becoming enemies.

Unilaterally becoming enemies.

Thus, in this process, the other party in the interaction is usually left bewildered. From the beginning, development, to end, some people can't even react to what has happened, unaware why a good friend suddenly changed behavior.

It's very much like a soap opera where the writers suddenly act out and deliberately destroy the protagonist's character in the plot.

From this angle, could it be that those writers are writing characters based on Borderline Personality Disorder?

Nan Zhubin silently noted this information and then looked at the tall nurse in front of him.

This Nurse Cuicui had previously said she wasn't very familiar with Li Lingling. She remained silent while the short nurse was speaking.

But now, when it was just her and Nan Zhubin, she opened up instead.

In such situations, the other party's words would certainly not be few.

Then Nurse Cuicui said, "When we first joined, we were all in a work group, and she... would always say some bizarre and awkward things."

When not knowing how to respond in a conversation, or when faced with unsuitable replies, repetition is often the best approach.

Because the other person is likely to provide further explanation based on your repetition.

Nan Zhubin showed a strange expression: "Bizarre and awkward things?"

"Yes." Nurse Cuicui glanced at Nan Zhubin, adjusted her hair at the temples, and indeed explained on her own, "When we first joined, some of the sisters would complain about work being too hard, working hours being too exhausting. At the start, Li Lingling would comfort everyone."

"Saying things like 'Everyone, keep fighting, we are the best angels in white,' 'It was difficult to get into the hospital, endure this period and the future will be promising,' 'We are the hope of patients' and such."

"Her words were extremely positive and... extremely bureaucratic.

These are encouraging words full of positivity and vitality to motivate people around.

But when Nurse Cuicui repeated these, although she was smiling, she couldn't help but show slight disdain and sneer.

Nurse Cuicui laughed, "What she was saying was like encouragement between high school students, uttering truths that everyone knows. But people don't lack understanding of those truths, they just want to complain."

"But when no one else was talking, she would often treat the chat group like a confessional. Saying things like 'It's too hard, I'm a worthless nurse,' 'I'm unworthy to treat patients,' such negative and gloomy stuff."

Nurse Cuicui leaned forward slightly towards Nan Zhubin.

She lowered her voice, but the emotions in her words were even fuller.

"And, ah, she says these negative things much more frequently than others, and often the words are more extreme."

Nurse Cuicui concluded, "Not many people were encouraged by her, but quite a few were annoyed by her negative talk."

"Initially, everyone would ask her out of concern, but she would just say 'It's nothing.' As time passed, we just let her be, and no one paid attention to her anymore."

"It's not that no one tried to advise her. The leaders spoke to her too. But every time she rotated to a new department, she would speak like this."

Nurse Cuicui's lips curled a bit.

"Overall... she's a pretty complex person." After saying a long string of words, she naturally made a slight saving grace.

She glanced narrowly around, seemingly worried that the content of her conversation with Nan Zhubin was heard by others: "Now I haven't heard her speaking like that anymore. Maybe she realized no one is paying attention, so she stopped. But every department in the hospital already knows there's such a person."

After surveying the surroundings to confirm there was no one else, Nurse Cuicui refocused her gaze on Nan Zhubin's face.

But she didn't find what she wanted to see on Nan Zhubin's expression. On the face with balanced features, distinct lines, and striking looks, there was no expression.

Then Nurse Cuicui bit her lip, seemingly feeling she had guessed something, and added, "Of course, although Li Lingling was rather gloomy speaking with us, she was very proactive at work. Teacher Nan, you must respect her for what she did when she seized the knife, right?"

Nan Zhubin was deep in thought.

Being called back by Nurse Cuicui, he blinked and responded, "Ah... yes. That was truly a very difficult thing."
